I finished my eight month mentorship program with Michel Pellerin, late June, and moved back to Ontario where I am in the midst of setting up my first shop. As a result, I've been a bit lax in taking pictures of my current build, but, I wanted to post what I have.
This OM will be for sale at the SBAIC this coming weekend. I'm really looking forward to the show!

I usually do my own finishing, but, as I am in the middle of setting up my shop and my finishing booth is just being sorted out now, Michel Pellerin did the polyurethane finish on this one for me.

So sorry that I will not be in Santa Barbara to check out this beauty, Peggy. My friend Svea (and an AGF member here) will be helping out Kathy Wingert. I will nudge her to check your guitar out and report back to me.

Have a great show!

Best,
Jayne

Lovely work. You've really struck a chord with the Kandinsky inspired theme on last couple of guitars. Is this something you plan on being a regular feature?

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Kandinsky art but on the guitar it really works well and makes me want to spend more time admiring the rosette.

Thanks, Ozzy! Right now the Kandinsky-Inspired rosettes and other appointments are an option, as they are quite a bit more work. I like to put them on the show guitars as they do attract attention. I'm glad you like how it looks on the guitar!
